The 2023 “Solar-Powered Green House Programme” has kicked off. Starting May 2, companies and contractors installing such alternative green energy systems can sign up. Procedures for natural or legal persons who want to secure the €4,000 subsidy from the state will then start. Environment Minister Tánczos Barna estimates the existing funds might be doubled, in which case nearly 150 thousand households are expected to install solar panels by the end of the year, provided there are enough specialized companies enrolled in the programme.




“Companies that install photovoltaic panels can enroll. Starting May 16 they can submit funding applications for the first euro-region. We have divided the funding requests on separate periods, depending on euro-regions, to ease pressure on computer systems. If we manage to secure the approval of the European Commission, together with Minister for Investments and European Projects, Mr. Boloș, we may also double the budget of this program for this year and thus have 150 thousand systems installed in 2023”.




Those who want to apply for funding in the 2023 phase of the programme need to provide evidence their household has the proper documentation with the Land Registry Office, that they have no payment obligations and that their ID address corresponds with the address mentioned in the application form. To apply for state subsidies, this year applicants can register directly, instead of resorting to specialized companies, in the computer application of the Environment Fund Administration. By installing solar panels that produce green energy, they can offset their own consumption and then deliver the surplus to the national grid. Beneficiaries can secure funding of up to 90% of the total value of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of €4,000, for the installation of a solar panels with a minimum power of 3 kW. The total budget stands at some €500 million which will be divided to 100,000 applicants. Whether they apply for state subsidies or choose to cover the entire expenses from their own pocket, Romanians are more and more interested in alternative sources of green energy and securing energy independence. After prices for electricity and natural gas went up, the demand for solar panels also reported a significant increase. (VP)
